HOW PAT II WAS BROUGHT OCT. She Sang for the First Tinto ill Hamilton Forty years AgO The New York Herald thus tells how Botta was brought out : "One day cloae on forty years ago I happened to meet the late Maurice Stra- kosch in some piano warerooms in Toronto, , I have just been telling a friend here," Middle to no when I entered, 1" that I have had for tonne time uuder my instruction a little relative of mine, not yet out of short dresses, a sister of my wife, who is destined to become one •of the greatest singers in the world. She is scarcely 10 years of age, but so phenomenal is her voice her exe- cution and her musical genins generally that I have already brought her out in con- ete,rt and am now arranging for her appear- ance at Fiarnilton in conjunction with Ole Ball, Mme. Strakosch and myself. Come and hear her and one day when we meet again you will tell me that I prophesied truly." Tears rolled by and Patti vi,a,s in the .zenith of her fame when Strakosch and I met again, but this time in New York and on the OCelell011 of his last visit to that city. With wondrous tenacity of memory he re- ferred to our conversation of long ago re- garding the famous Spanish diva. ROPE CICIIBING RADE EASY. A Detille Invented for the use of Firemen and Painters. A device patented by a French inventor is designd to facilitate rope climbing, while at the same time permitting the climber to have the free use of his hands, says the Philadelphia, Record. The apparatus con- sists of two boards joined by a strong hinge, , with a hole passing through both the hinge • and the boards. The extremities of the beards are provided with straps, which can be fastened to the feet of the man using the device. The method of climbing by this apparatus is simple. When the feet at- tached to the boards are lifted the rope is false, but the moment the feet are pressed down on the two boards the rope is firmly gripped. It is necessary therefore only to lift the body by both hands as far as pos- •sible, and then it can be held by the hinged •clamps until another lift is made. By the use of a belt to hold the body close to the cope the hands may be left free. This de- vice is designed especially for the use of firemen and painters, aleo to serve as a fire- esesape. 11 When Lawyers* Fees Are Payable. Jadge Doherty rendered an important judgment yesterday in actions taken by the late legal firm of Loranger & Beaudin, to recover fees and disbursements from one of their former clients named Filitstrult. After notifying this client, while a mit was in progress, that they ceased to act for him, they took out the present actions, to which the defendant pleaded that they could not ,clain fees while the Case was still pending; that their relinquishment of the case caused hitn considerable damage, and that the Prothonotary had no right to tax them at .this stage of the proceedings. In adjudi- cating upon the merits of the case,the .court held that lawyers have no right of etetiou for costs before a suit is ended or -settled, and that the mere fact of withdraw - from the case, with a notice to the 'client, does not give a right of action that would not otherwise exist. The action must, therefore be dismissed as regards the costs, but plaintiffs are entitled to recover elan. disbureemente.---Montreei Witness. The Painkiller Fetched Him. An eminent lady missionary in Burmah .xecently gave Dr. A. J. Gordon an in. -structive but somewhat startling chapter of her experience. In one of her tours, she • said, she came upon a village where cholera was raging. Having with her a quantity of a famous painkiller, she went from house to • house administering the remeny to the in- -vends, and left \a number of bottles to be used after shehad gone. Returning to the . village some months after, the missionary was met by the head man of the community, who pheered and delighted her by this in- telligerme : "Teacher, we have come over to your side;.the ristalioine did us so much • g,00d that we have accepted your God." -, Overjoyed at this news, she was conducted tit the house of her informant, who, opening •,a room, showed her the painkiller bottles solemnly arranged in a row upon. the shelf, -send before them the whole cOmpany immediately prostrated themselves in laPaashita And the Lawyer Said, "I Do 1" "Have you fixed up my will ?" said the ,sidir man to Lawyer Quillins.

I e TAKE YOUR PARTNERS or ,the NeW Deneee That are Being Taught This Beason. ALI,EMANDE LEFT AND DOSedePOBINOT IN Great rivalry now exists eellong the several New York end Beston teachers el dancing in the way of produoing emnething new that they may submit to their repre- sentative assoeiations that tell' prove both popular and taking in all parte of the country. • The Oxford minuet this season seems to take precedence over other dances and it is tanght es many different ways as there are different oities, Sethi a -teacher of dancing to a represen- tative of the Buffalo News a day or two ago : "I do not believe the Oxford minuet is properly taught in any school outside of mine in this city; the orolrestrae play it without any reference to the instructions accompanymg the rausio. • It is a beautiful dance when properly done and a most miserable failure when it isn't." How are you going to better tlaings ?" "Let the teaohers give their attention te theusie. The music contains the instruc- tion."" What are the changes of the Oxford minuet ?" " The first is slew and stately like the court minuet, so far as movement goes, though played in schottische time. It is not as quick as the Alsatian nor eat as slow as the vesuvianee It is one of the prettiest of dances, something like the old Mediter- ranean." " What other now dances are there this season ?" "The Spanish York, which has the eame time as the redowa. There are dozens of others, but they .are hardly worth talkies; about, The waltz minuet is one of the pret- tiest dances ever iutrodueecl, if properly taught. Of course round dances are crowd- ing the square dances out. Novelties in squares must be introduced in order to re- tain them at all in the cities. For instance, dances that ueed to be square are now diagonally or on corners. To make it plain, the old change, " First four right and lefa with opposite copuple," they now cross to the corner --the side couple taking the place tho head couple used to occupy and repeat- ing to the right. Of course in country towns the square dances are square still ; the Saratoga lancers, mineet lancers and college lancets remain the same. "The New York lancert, novs in its sec• ond season, remains in favor. The changes are very simple. They run.: Head couples lead to the right, join hands, circle four, back to place; right and left to the opposite side'balance, turn corner and back to place. The fourth figure is: Head couples for ward, address, take opposite lady and go to the side address ; head couples to place. then riga and left to the right. "Dancing is certainly on the increase. Nearly all the invitations to receptions now include 'dancing,' and there are to many social clubs forming for dancieg that it ist almost indispensible to one's aecomplisle men ts. "Since the formation of the association there is a nuiformity in (lances. At one time if a New Yorker went to a Philadel- phia ball he would find many of the changes Greek to him. It isn't so now. Chicago has adopted the New York Association rules, so has St. Louis and New Orleans, all owing to the fact that most of the cities have ono of the representatives of the asso- ciations and have introduced the dances and teach them after their adoptionbythe execu- tive board of the association. • The dances in vogue at the Charity ball in New York will be found at the Mardi Gras in New Orleans. The Patriarchs' ball in New York gives the same dances and changes that you will find at Monate and Proteus during the week's revelry in the Crescent City. Dancing is not only an accomplishment, but it keeps the old. feeling young. It makes the young graceful, and it is the opeu sesame now to all social gatherings. I do not mean by that that a dancer with no other accomplishment will find himself well received, but I do say than a young man who cannot dance often finds himself like the gentleman who comes in on the lovers, de trop. • " The Shrine ball will be a grand affair. I have eight or ten couples who will be per- fect in the round dances and in the squares, too, for the OeCitei011. If -the Oxford minuet be on the programme you will see these couples right together' and I venture to say finer dancing has notbeen seen in 'elude Hall." Rev. M. C. PETERS, of New York, deliv- ered a lecture on "Samples from Sample Rooms" on Sunday evening, in which he stated that he had visited a dozen of the best liquor stores in the neighborhood and bought pint samples of their best gin, whis- key, brandy, port wine, sherry, etc., and had them analyzed by an expert them*. What he found is told as follows: In the sample of pure Holland gin we found neutral spirits, rotten corn, juniper berries, turpentine and vitriol. We dropped the white of an egg !:i.nd an oyster, both easily digestible articles, mto this compound and saw them shrivel up into hard, stringy masses. This shows how nicely a drop of gin aids digestion. In the sample of "fine o/d hand -made Ken- tucky whiskey" we found neutral spirits, glycerine, sulphate of eine, chrouile acid, creo- sote, unslacked lime and fusel oil. Now, fifteen drachms of fusel oil evaporated in a box will make the toughest, cat you can put in that box insensible in less than an • hour. But the port wine, that rich, fruity drink which solid respectability is proud to take after dinner—that was the worst of alt. What do you think we found in the best sample that I could buy ? Well, there were neutral acid, glycerine, lieorice, zinc, mercury, anti- mony. salts of tartar and ether, muriatze acid and alum. I ,have statistics to show that ono hundred times more imported wine is soli than can be made from all the grapes in Oporto. It is the same with all other wines. Madeira produces 30,000 barrels of wine per year, and .A.morlea alone drinks 50,000 barrele of Madeira wine in that time. Iu the best lager beer he could get, Mr. Petere said, there were discovered pepper, ginger, vinegar, capsicum, cream of tartar, acetic, nitric, citric, tartaric, sulphuric and prussic adds; nitric, sulphuric and acetic ether; epirit of nitre, the oils of vitriol, tuepentine and castle ; caraway seed, cloves, iaponie extract, bitter almond, orrie root, grains of paradise, j Spanish uice, black ants, dried cherries, orange peel, coriander seed, white oak bark, tannic acid, fennel seed, cardamon seed, worm- wood, copperas, alum, sulphates of 1r00 and copier, liquorice, opium, gentian root, quassia, emeritus Maims, tobriceo, saltpetre, logwood, marble dust, eggshells, hartshorn, nutgalls, potash and soda.

The heroism of the monks should be remembered by the well-to-do holiday visitor. They begin their career et the age of IS or 10. After fifteen years' service the severe climate has made old men of them. For eight or isiue months out of the twelve they see none but the poorest wayfarers, when the cold is intense, the snow lying deep, the danger from the storms incessant and fearful.

" Unele Thomas" (whose other name is not McGreevy), writing in the Globe upon Miss E. Pauline Johnson's poem which was read at the " Canadian Literature" enter- tainment of the Toronto Youug Men's Liberal Club, says " there Wile it touch of bitter sarcasm in the words that Miss Johnson put into the mouth of the Indian wife, making her speak of the destruction of her people and Ste spoliation of their lands, with the forgiving thought that per- haps the white man's Gecl had willed it. There is the sharp reminder of how easy we relegate the golden rule to the back- ground, and forget all about the deoalogue in our dealings with inferior races. It is hard to maize that in our bargainingswith half -civilized tribes there should. be a ten- dency toward common honesty and fair dealing. Once we feel that they areinferior to us, the feeling that gives man dominion over all lower orders of creation comes with a liniment for the bone spavins of the public conscience. It is a sinless falsehood to pass a counterfeit worm or a green India rubber tadpole on an unsuspecting perch or sunfish. And in the same dim, unreasoning way we feel that we have been granted the wisdom and the power to ,rob the Indian of his lands and, if ha in- sists ripen it, of his life. Man is expected to use, his superior sunning in combatting the strength and ferocity of the brute, and the right of way of the Indian. And when Miss Johnson stood before the audience and said the land is ours' it was enough to cause a shrinkage of the conscience of the man who grumbled about paying $20 to have his title searched. We look upon the Indian and his lands as a railway com- pany does upon a municipality—a legitimate and unreasonably thankless object of plun- der. " Not only toward the Indian, but toward white men of an inferior order of finance is this moral imbecility manifested. No man is condemned by society for telling a rectangular lie to his workmen if they go out on strike. We would as soon think of striking him from the roll of church mem- bership for enticing a flock of ducks within range by the use of painted decoys. He is allowed to hire men to break an oath of secrecy, and tell the names of every one connected with a trade union. If he did not do so it would be regarded as an evi- dence of weakness of intellect. And thus the thought that man is less than man re- peals tbe decalogue and gives the golden rule the six months' hoist" Tourists 1Vhether on pleasure bent or busineste should take on every trip a bottle of Syrup of Figs as it acts most pleasantly and, effectually on the kidneys, liver and bowels, preventing fevers, headaches and other forms of sickness..

In its current issue the Nev York bale. pendent publishes it collection of eatieleaon "Tho Right Use of Wealth." The writere are D. Willis James, Robere 0, Odgese President Merrill E. Gate, of Amheret College ; Rev. Dr. J, M. Buckley, editor of the Ohristian Advocate; Rev. Dr, Roberto S. McArthur Rev. Dr, F. E. Elliuwood, Secretary of the Preshyterian Board of Foreign Missions; and Chariest D. Kellogg, Secretary of the Charity Organization Society. The spirit of all the oontributionss is expressed by Mr. ,Tames when, he saya that " it Holt man holds • his wraith simply as a trustee between hie Maker and humanity," The mode of en- forcing this trust obligation is described by Dr. Buckley: "Stewards or agents of men hewn fixed salaries, and receive direct in- structions from their principals as to the management of the interests committed to their care; but etewards of God are left to determine by the precepts which He has given hew they should live, and by the exercise of their own judgment what use they Isbell make of what they do not deem necessery or lawful to expend for their sub- sistence and comfort." This is it comfort- able sort of trusteeship, surely, for the trustee ; but it leaves what lawyers call the cestui que trust in a rather awkward plight. • Observe that the rick man does not own hie, vyealth. It is not his to do with as he pleases, subject only to the uuivereal law of liberty that he shall not work injury to others with it; he is merely a, trustee. Hiss wealth belongs to humanity. Nevertheless he has full discretion to fix his own salary ; and if he fixes it at an unreasonably high figure, even misappropriating the en- tire trust fund, no power is a.nyWherelodged to enforce the trust. The trustee may be punished in a future world; but in the only world where wealth can be enjoyed, the defrauded beneficiary is remediless. What conception of divine justice can these well- memeng men have? What conception have they of divine intelligence? • Tint truth is that they do not look below the surface of things. They see that some ,men WO rich, while more are helplessly poor, and instinctively feeling that in this there is something wrong, yet unwilling to believe that God is other than good, their first impulse is to accuse rich men of grind - Mg the faces of the poor. But the impulse gives way when they consider—as consider they must, for it is true and plidn--that rich men do not grind the faces of the poor. They are in daily contact wtth rich men whom they fiad to be generous, well-disposed to be just, and alto- gether incapable of consciously doing a personal wrong or giving play to a mean motive.. In tbis dilemma, the preacher, the eharityorganizer, the business man of beneficent, instincts, all that ekes which is so well represented by the writers who have discussed d The litight Use of Wealth" in the Independent, seeks farther for an explanation of the f dienomenon of abject poverty in the midst of abounding wealth. But he does not seek far enough. Consequently he constructs a crude theory of divine law calculated to reconcile the impartial generosity of God with the per- sistence of poverty. In doing this he only detracts; from the justice and the wisdom of the Creator. Negligently assuming that the wealth of individuals is bestowed by God, and seeing that for every one -who has it thousands are without it, and thousands cling more des- peratels, to the steep tides of poverty's gulf, yet believing that God is no resspeeter of persons, writers like those in the Independ- ent conclude, that the possession of wealth iraplies an affirmative obligation to use it for the benefit of those who need it. If they searched deeper they would find the true law, which reconciles divine justice, generosity and wiridore with the persistence of poverty, without holding rich men re- sponsible for deplorable social conditions in any greater degree than all men are respon- sible for an ignorant or negligent misuse of such influence as they possess. This law is involved in the seleevident proposition that God, though he gives no • wealth to anyone, in truet or otherwise, en- dows men with the mental and physical power requisite for its production, and be- stows upon them all alike the material and forces of the universe with which they may produce wealth in all its forms, according to the common knowledge of the time in which they live, and without which they cannot produce ib in arty form. It follows that the wealth that any man produces is his to do with as pleases him best, subject to no other Obligation than that he shall not use it to injure others, and to no other deduction than compensation to his fellows for such advantages regarding his use of • natural material and forces as through the artificial adjustments .,of society he may 'have secured. It is what God has bestowed upon man- kind—the land—that is a, trust; not the wealth that individual men, by their own efforts, have temporarily produced from the land, and which must, soon return to the land again. That trust can be enforced here and now by the simple, wise and just expedienb of taking the value of lastd for public use, and leaving private wealth to its owners. The trust proposed by the Independent contributors catsnot be fairly enforced in this world, nor ia any degree at all except by measures that are oommunistic in the worst sense; andin the next world it will be too late. -11T.

The retailers are tired buying boxes of fruit and barrels of potatoes which when retailed do not pan out as they ought to do by any meante It would be more advantageous to the grocer to buy such truck by weight than by measure, and it would be better were it sold to the cus- tomers in the same way. Of course quality would have to be considered as well as weight. Eggs cannot be described as vege- tables, but they may be celled hen fruit, and they are a species of fruit which we often wonder aro not sold by weight instead of by the dozen. They have one dish at our hotel Of which the boarders all speak well.

WOOING sutur. A New Method by Which a Wakeful Mu May Find Sleep, The Deleortian doctrine of rest by volun- tary muecular relaxation is somewhat con- firmed by the experience of those who have acted upon this theory in overcoming in- somnia. Nothing ao quickly brings sleep as the voluntary disposal of the body and limbs in such fashion as to produce mutant - lax relaxation. The legs and arms should be so placed as to bring them in contact with the mattress at as Many poirite as possible. This affords support ancl relieves the lunacies. The body should be diapozed. in like fashion and if all has been done properly the wooer of sleep will presently have the eonsciousness of resting with his whole weight directly upon the mattress. When once this feeling conies sleep usually follows. The plan is far better than the old one of repeating the numerals or going over some meaningless series of words, for it has the double advantage of putting the physical man into an attitude of repose ansi of distracting the mind Irons whatever thoughts are at enmity with itleepe—Breto York Sun.
